BrightSpark™ Testimonials
Homeopathic remedy to calm hyperactivity and reduce attention problems in hyperactive children.
"My son is in the second grade. He has had many difficulties in school like sitting still, concentrating, and controlling his impulsive behavior. I started him on Focus and then started giving it to him with BrightSpark. I showed the bottles to my son's doctor … and she felt the products were safe to give to my child. BrightSpark and Focus have made a tremendous difference. He was always getting sent out in the hall for distracting other children and getting answers wrong on assignments because he could not pay attention. The teacher noticed a difference in his behavior, and she didn't even know he was taking anything. For the past month now, he has not taken BrightSpark because I ran out. I figured the school year was almost over anyway, so I did not reorder. That was a big mistake because now he is starting to act the way he did before. I reordered 3 bottles today, so I don't have to worry about running out for a while. I highly recommend both of these products. They definitely work."

"My 6 yr old granddaughter was having a hard time in school, the teachers wanted to take her out of her class and put her in a special class that could deal with her inability to sit, listen and concentrate. She was just too disruptive. I got her Focus Formula and BrightSpark, my daughter started her on it and within 3 weeks she was showing a marked improvement. She just did her semester exams this last week and the teacher said she is off the charts, she is doing so well. Even she noticed the improvement and told me, Nana I can sit still now and do my work, and not get in trouble anymore. I thank Native Remedies for giving us an alternative…to help my granddaughter. I would recommend it to anyone who has an … [overly excitable] child."
- Pam, UT, USA
"I read all the testimonials and was very encouraged. I ordered both Focus Formula and BrightSpark. My daughter has been taking both for just one week. Her teachers say she's a new person. They are amazed at the change. She is focused and hasn't had any problems at school. I'm convinced that Focus Formula and BrightSpark work miracles!!"
- Karen, VA, USA
"I started my 7 year old son on BrightSpark about 6 weeks ago. A couple days ago, I decided to stop giving this to him because we had not really seen a big change UNTIL... we received his progress report from school and all his grades came up to A's. He has always been an A & B student and is very smart. However, our issue was his conduct. When he was done with his work at school, he would talk and not pay attention well. His teacher also commented about his improvement. We did not give the pills to him for the last 2 days AND WHAT A STEP BACK HE MADE!! The last two days have been so difficult. I can really see what a change he had made. It just was not so apparent to us, but is NOW!! I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS PRODUCT!!"
- Sharon, TX, USA
"My 10 yr. old son was diagnosed… at the age of 6. …nothing seemed to work like it was supposed to and the side effects … were awful. I started him on BrightSpark and Focus Formula…and he did well, so …I added MindSoothe Jr. I can not describe how wonderful this transition has been and it has only been 2 weeks! The night time battles are gone and he is doing great in school. I can see this difficult …road is going to get much easier. Thank you for these products and I will be shouting this from the roof tops for all frustrated parents of these special children."
- Robin, MS, USA
"My daughter is taking both BrightSpark and Focus Formula and I am absolutely THRILLED with their results!! I want the best for my daughter, and it was difficult to see her struggling in just about every aspect of her interaction. I felt helpless as to what to do to fix it and constantly beat myself up for frequently losing patience. These supplements have made all of the difference. How rewarding it is to see such a happy little girl!! Thank You!!"
- Suzanna, TX, USA
"My 7 year old son was having problems listening and completing classroom and homework assignments. He also could not follow directions or remember things that he was told to do. He has been taking BrightSpark for approximately one week and I already notice a difference. His work is being done on time and much neater than ever before. He has calmed down a little and he remembers things a whole lot better. What really surprised me is that he remembers to take BrightSpark on his own. This is the first medicine that he has ever wanted to take. He came home from school and said that he had a good day at school. What a relief!"
- Karen, TX, USA
"My son is now 6 years old. He was diagnosed … at the age of 4. He has seen every type of professional specialist that there is in the medical field ever since he was 2, and 80% of them (psychiatrists) I personally call "pushers". They spend 5 minutes with your child, and they think they automatically know what is best for your child - WRONG!!! Only we as parents do. I never planned on putting him on anything …, due to the fact that he has a very high IQ, and I did not want to disturb his academic abilities. My niece has [concentration problems] and my sister-in-law told me to do my research on BrightSpark…. Once I did my research, I picked up the phone and called Native Remedies, and placed an order. It took a little while (3 weeks) to fully kick in, and at first I did not see any major difference, until he missed a dosage and then it made me realize that your product has really helped him in school. He is less frustrated and has a lot less tantrums. He is also able to concentrate much better and for long periods of time. Best of all (for me) is knowing that your product is all natural, and can not hurt, but only help my son. Thank you so much for creating this wonderful product and for those of you that are skeptical on medications, trust me - I was too (very). This is an herbal remedy. It can't hurt your child, it can only help them. Thanks!"
- Lori, FL, USA
"Last year my daughter was in kindergarten and the teacher said that she was bright but at times seemed lost when her peers were busy doing their work. It seemed that it was hard for her to focus and pay attention to the teacher. This year the first grade teacher said the same thing and decided to have a meeting to help her. My husband and I thought that she might have mild …[attention issues] but didn't want to have her formally tested . So, we started using BrightSpark. The teacher had no idea that we were using it and after a couple of weeks on the pills we noticed that she went from an s to a s+ to an Excellent in her school work in just 3 weeks. The teacher said that she didn't know what we did but, our daughter is like a different child. She finishes all her work and continues to amaze her with her reading and writing. Thank you so much for your product. Our child now has self-esteem and is reaching her full potential!!!"
- Kay J., GA, USA
"My 8 year old son had difficulty in school last year and he was testy or non-communicative. He had very internalized anger and was generally difficult to handle. Bed time was a nightmare, waking up for school was a problem, and his daily behavior was worrisome. In desperation I searched for an answer: I found your site and your remedies and ordered BrightSpark and Serenite Jr.. However, I was skeptical! My son wanted something to help him fall asleep at night and was eager to try the "drops" and we met with success. He thinks BrightSpark is special vitamins. And when asked how he is doing, he says he feels much happier now. Thank you for providing an array of natural and safe products that work."
- Claire, CT, USA
"I have a 3 1/2 year old has been diagnosed.... What a Godsend BrightSpark is. Within a day I saw dramatic improvement in his behavior & no cranky behavior…He can actually sit through a meal, a story and a lot of other things. He is actually able to start to develop his fine motor skills now."
- Lisa W., NH, USA
"This was the last thing we were going to try…We'd tried several alternative therapies … and had limited results. My son has been on BrightSpark and Focus Formula ADD for 1 week as of today. In the last 2 days, both his math teacher and his home room teacher have both told me separately that my son is focusing and paying attention much better. He's answering questions in class now and getting compliments from his teacher about paying attention and that is the FIRST time EVER. I'm so proud of him and so grateful to Natural Remedies.
Great! My son Robin had problems in school, he couldn't sit still, cried a lot, gave up fast and thought very little of himself. I started him with BrightSpark and within a few days he was confident, stopped crying and has been generally more concentrated. We are a happy family again."
- James, CA, USA
"What a difference you made for my child!!! My child is NOW organized and able to complete all tasks without reminders and constant redirection. Thank you for BrightSpark!!!"
- Vanni, Germany
"I just want to let you know I am very happy with the results of BrightSpark. My son has used the product for 6 months now and his behavior and grades have improved tremendously! Thank you for providing such a safe and wonderful product."
- Donna B., PA, USA
"I am sooooo happy with your products. Our two children use Kiddie Calmer and BrightSpark… Their grades have improved tremendously and our home life is a lot less stressful! Thank you so much for a wonderful product line!"
- Anna
"My son is 10 years old. He has had a problem with concentration ever since I can remember. Over the years this has led his self-esteem to suffer as well as hindered his potential in class. He has now been on BrightSpark for one month. Everyone who knows my son has remarked as to how much calmer and how much his self esteem has improved. In class, his marks have improved greatly. I am very happy to have found the BrightSpark solution and would recommend this to all parents. Many of my friends and colleagues have heard me talk about the product and have asked for the internet site.
Do you get tired of hearing "THANK YOU"? What a godsend this product has been for our family. My 11 yr old grandson went through every [thing] …that was on the market. Not one did what it was supposed to do. He was moody, angry, loosing weight, chewing his fingers to the nubs, doing very poorly in school.... We tried BrightSpark, and in a matter of a few days (I know its supposed to take a few weeks) we noticed a change. He is much more relaxed, concentrating in school and getting better grades and just a pleasant person to be around. My daughter and I can't thank you enough. Our only regret, WE DIDN'T TRY IT SOONER. Thank you again. PS we have recommended this to our friends and they tried it for their daughter and are getting excellent results too. You should have ads in every Doctor's office in America!!"
- Christine, PA, USA
"I have been very pleased with the product. This is my first reorder, and I don't plan on trying to live without BrightSpark! My sweet boy is back!"
- Maggie, USA
"I have an 12 yr old son, who has been on BrightSpark for about a year. My son's teacher's and family members have seen a wonderful change. He can follow instructions, has increased his learning skills and best of all has been able to enjoy having close friends. Before it was hard for him to enjoy friendships because of his low self - esteem. But now, he is much happier and outgoing. Native Remedies is Great!!!!"
- Michele K., VA, USA
"I purchased BrightSpark for my 7 year old daughter and have had remarkable improvements. Before BrightSpark she had trouble staying on task. Her school work was suffering…! Now she is doing well, her reading has gone up by a 1 1/2 grade levels. Most important she feels the difference. After 2 weeks of use she told me her head feels clearer and she can think better! It has been 3 months now and we are still happy with the results."
- Garnett, USA
"I initially bought BrightSpark for my seven year old son who has difficulties with staying focused and on-task in school. I have not taken him to a doctor to have specific testing done and to actually find out from a medical professional whether or not he has… [a condition]. His teacher and principal both believe that he does…He has been on BrightSpark now for about eight weeks and I can really see an improvement in him. My older son who is nine, asked if he could try it because he was having a hard time focusing in class - I thought that he was just wanting to take it because his little brother was taking it but I let him. He has been taking it now for about six weeks and his teacher contacted me last week and said that she has noticed a real improvement in him during school. She said he is more alert and focused and is not getting into to trouble during class. He has also expressed to me that he is not acting out in class anymore! THANK YOU BRIGHTSPARK!!! Both of my kids are now starting to enjoy school just as they did when school first started this year - it's wonderful to see them excited about school again!"
- Debbi, MO, USA
"My son has been using BrightSpark for about 6 months. It has given him the energy he needs to focus and his grades are good and steady. We stopped using to see if we noticed a great difference, and restarted within a month. We noticed a "slow down" in his efforts and a lack of energy. BrightSpark is helping us keep up with the school programs. "
- Miriam, CT, USA
"At age three my loving, enjoyable son changed tremendously. He became so hyper he could never sit still. His mood swings were outrageous and hostile and he never slept. I am serious, this child never slowed down, ever. He started kindergarten in Sept. of 2004. By the third week of school he was in tutoring twice a week because he was behind. (even with a year of pre-k and help at home) By the first conference (November 2004) the school was concerned that we may be dealing with a learning …[problem]. He just was not "getting it." … So, one night in November 2004 I began searching for something to help him. I found Native Remedies. I started him on Focus first and then added BrightSpark about a month later. My last conference with his teacher was in Feb. 2005. He has improved 60 to 75% in all areas since October!!!!!! And best of all I have that adorable little boy back that disappeared at age three. He is loving, caring and many of his fears have lessoned. THESE PRODUCTS WORK. I am so grateful I found Native Remedies. I have my bright eyed son back, he is focused in school and our family gets along much better…TRY THESE PRODUCTS they will change things for you. I am an average mom who was worried sick about her little boy. I don't worry now thanks to Focus and BrightSpark. It isn't going to hurt anything to try these products, but it will help everything."
- Lori, OH, USA
"Hi guys, today is probably one of the happiest days of my life. My 8 year old son is on Focus and BrightSpark. Doctors have said he has…[concentration problems]... Anyway he has taken the above 2 for the past 5 days. His teacher left a message on my job and home phone until he finally got me on my cell phone during his lunch break, I was so scared that my child was ill or fell or something else negative. Needless to say he was calling to tell me he was "blown away in the difference" with my child. He was "attentive, involved, sharing, and focused" during class. He then asked me what was going on? I then mentioned your company and the items my son was taking. When I came home, I played the teachers message over and over again. I was so happy I actually started to cry. I have to admit I was not a whole believer in non-conventional medicine, but that has certainly changed. I will very happily recommend Native Remedies to everyone. Thank you and God Bless You."
- Suzan C., NY, USA
"My son Joshua is already showing signs of improving at school after 10 days. I am hopeful he will continue to improve with the continued use of BrightSpark."

Enjoy your summer with your family
This is the time to enjoy your summer with your family. There are many things to do. Sport activities and family get togethers are common. What is left of our County Parks is still usable for family use. You may have to bring your own toilet paper and hand soap due to budget cuts, and some park restrooms are condemned by the Milwaukee Health Department. Take advantage of the beautiful weather and do some activities with your family. If it is too hot outside, then go do an indoor activity. Go see a movie, visit a museum, go to Betty Brinn, go to a baseball game or do other activities that you enjoy. Swimming pools are now open to use. Softball is very popular with many people. Milwaukee Public School Recreation Division has many activities for all to enjoy.
Give your dog plenty of water in this hot weather
I have noticed that many dogs tend to overheat in hot weather. They are just like us in this matter. If they are outside in your yard, give tem shade and plenty of water with ice in it. If you have a long haired dog, it will have heat problems than a short-haired dog. Try not to have your dog inside of your car in this heat. Too many of them overheat and come close to death in a hot inclosed car. If you see a dog and it is panting very much, try to give it some cool water and find it some shade to rest in. Treat your dog as you would a little child. The more affection you give it, the more affection you will get back. Remember, a dog is a member of your family. Always be sure that it is not overheating in this weather. Do not lose it due to careless deeds. Dogs love to get ice or cold water during hot weather. If your dog is panting a lot, then give it a rest in a shady area or take it inside to cool off. Please support the Bay View community.

Should the Hide House receive a Bay View landmark ?
I for one do not see any reason for the Hide House to become a historical landmark building. The building was used as a tannery many years ago, but nothing major happened there. I can find no outstanding events that happened there. If I am wrong, I wish somebody to prove me wrong. The only reason that I can see of for it to get landmark status, is to prevent low income housing in Bay View. Many buildings in Bay View are worthy of landmark status. There are several pioneer houses still standing. There are buildings that were built by famous architects. Many churches deserve landmark status. If anybody builds on the land where the U.S. Army Base was located, it is on a fools errand. I can picture any new building sinking into former Deer Creek Pond and gas pipes breaking, with a resulting explosion as you never have seen before. Look at the north end of Beulah Brinton Community Center. Its north end is slowing sinking into the same kind of soil as is on the former army base. Please prove me wrong, as I do not want people to be killed because political people decided to build on swamp land. Go to the Bay View Compass Newspaper web site and look at photos of Deer Creek Pond and note the size of its area. It was over 200 feet wide at one time. From E. Potter Ave. to E. Lincoln Ave., and from S. Logan Ave. to the railroad tracks were its boundaries. Please prove me wrong, as I do not want to be responsible for not warning people about these conditions. If you have any additional information on Hide House, I would like to see it, as I could find nothing important about its past.
Corn Roast Fundraiser on Tuesday, August 11th, at Humboldt Park
At the Chill on the Hill Program at Humboldt Park on Tuesday, August 11th, the Humboldt Park Watch will have its annual Corn Roast Fundraiser. We will be located not too far from the stage at the Chalet. This is the one time that Humboldt Park Watch has its fundraiser. All money raised or donated goes for park watch activities throughout the year. The Easter Egg Hunt, Tree Day and other activities are funded by this event. The corn will be roasted on two large charcoal grills. In past years we have been very successful at this event. All of our labor is donated. While you are enjoying the great music of Chill on the Hill, you can stop over and purchase a corn-on-the-cob to eat. This corn roast is only done once a year, so enjoy it while you can. Humboldt Park is located at 3000 S. Howell Ave. in Bay View. The Chalet is located near the park entrance on E. Montana St. and S. Howell Ave. Here is a chance for you to enjoy the view of Humboldt Park and what it has to offer for the people. The Chill on the Hill Program is free to the public to enjoy. Come down and bring your family to enjoy a wonderful day at the park and purchase some good corn-on-the-cob.
Football is returning soon
In August, the NFL goes to the practice field to prepare for a new season. What changes will we see with the Green Bay Packers? Will Brett Farve risk his body to play another season of football, even the Minnestota Vikings? There will be a new defensive scheme for the Packers. We must wonder how the players will adjust to it. Which players' jobs are in jeopardy? There are a lot of interesting changes going on with the Packers. I wish them well this season.
College football is just around the corner. How will Wisconsin do this season? This season will make or break their coach and his staff. The joy of watching football games is about to resume again soon. Women will lose their husbands when the football games are on television. Many wives also enjoy the game of football, so that is not so bad. Rest your eyes now, for football soon will be back for us to watch.
Keeping young children occupied
When your children are young, they get bored easily. While playing with other children is important, many children also like to read and play on your computer. Facebook has some farm games that will interest your children. There are also some better age related games that they can play. A good challenge will help develop good eye coordination and mental alertness in your child. You should help them to make sure that they are not going into strange areas of the computer that might have a negative effect on them. The search for knowledge is a great ability for a child to have. The children who find an acceptable challenge in computer games can many times become better readers and understand more about life itself. Outdoor excercise is the best thing for them. Computer games can occupy them when they are indoors and bored. We all need a mental challenge at one time or another. A family that plays together, stays together. Alaways take the time to enjoy your children while you can. They grow up too soon sometimes. Enjoy them while you can, and establish good relations with them, so they can come to you with questions in the future and trust your answers. Be a good family and do things together.
Have some corn-on-the-cob
The South Shore Farmers Market has more than one vendor with fresh corn to sell. Tomatoes, squash, peas, beans, potatoes, onions, giant kohlrabi and many more vegetables to sell. Egg sandwiches on the grill, crepes, smoothies, coffee, bakery, homemade candy, pies, fresh mushrooms, frozen soups, chickens, eggs, flowers, plants, jams and other goodies are all available at the market. We have one of the best farmers markets in the city. Come join us and see for yourself. The farmers market is located in South Shore Park, 2900 S. Shore Drive in Bay View, and is open every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12 Noon. We have had beautiful weather for the market this year. Y' all come and see us on Saturday mornings.
Enjoy the Chill on the Hill at Humboldt Park while you can on Tuesday nights.
There a still a few more nights of free music with Chill on the Hill at Humboldt Park, located in the Chalet, just south of E. Montana Street & S. Howell Avenue. The Bay View Neighborhood Group has sponsored this event for several years. There have been vendors on the site selling beer and other goods to people. This is a family friendly event for all people to enjoy. On Tuesday, August 11th, the Humboldt Park Watch had their Corn Roast fundraiser with corn going for $2.00 a cob. Ruth Simos was also given a special honor at the Chalet for all of her hard work supporting the park watch and doing other things for the community. Congratulations to Ruth Simos. There has always been a large crowd at these musical events. The Bay View community should be proud of events like this to help the community. Please support the Bay View community.

Should the Hoan Bridge be torn down?
If they tear down the Hoan Bridge, then they should also replace I43/I94 Bridge with a low bridge that has to be raised every time a row boat wants to go through the river. It would also make as much sense as to build condos next door to the sewerage plant for the lawmakers who want such a change to occur. If they build a lower Hoan Bridge, then the highway would have to shut down any time a boat wanted to enter Milwaukee Harbor. I can just picture rush hour traffic being held up so that a small boat can go under the bridge while traveling to open water. Where are your realities? Many years ago, the Bay View Rolling Mill wanted to build a bridge to cross over the Milwaukee harbor. This bridge would have cost Milwaukee very little money, but City Hall said no. The Interstate Highway System was established to move traffic quickly at all time of the day and night. Why go back to the horse and buggy days and install a bridge that has to be raised any time a boat wants to enter the harbor. It would make as much sense as making the speed limit 20 mph on the freeway to prevent accidents. Where are we getting these geniuses what do not want progress and only want to waste money, of ours, on useless projects? Well City Hall has enough of these geniuses who do not know how to boil water. Why not paint a trail in City Hall to show the folks there how to find a restroom. They seem to do a lot of there work there anyhow and have plenty of material to fill up our sewers daily. Our leaders should use their God given brains to think this matter over. Do you want the traffic to move in a fast orderly manner, or do you want the traffic to move like City Hall answering a problem? You have elected these people to office. You can decide what to do with them. A new election is coming next year. Here is your opportunity to elect somebody with good intelligence and national loyalty to any office. Maybe we need a clean house and return to the way Mayor Dan Hoan saved Milwaukee during the Great Depression. We could use good people like that. You are the voter. You can decide as to who gets elected to political office here.
We have had a very unusually cool summer
This is the coolest summer that I can remember from the past. While the weather is cool, at least no major thunderstorms or tornados have developed so far. The farmers' crops are delayed a bit, but the produce is of excellent quality. Due to the cool air, not as many heat strokes have happened to people. It is easier to work out in your yard without overheating. We should remember, each day is a gift of the Lord, and we should thank Him for all that we have. You should take advantage of this beautiful weather and relax with your family for a while. A good vacation is not out of the question. Now is a good time to really let your hair stand out and be yourself. We should be thankful for all that we have received in this life. Please help your family find some relaxing moments with you and enjoy this summer.
Don't get lost playing facebook games
When you start playing games on Facebook, you can lose track of time very easily. Remember, they are only a game, and not worth losing sleep or family time over. Temptation can be strong, but always remember that there are others in the family that need your time and energy. Winning or losing is not so important, but playing the game seems to be important to you. When a good baseball or football game comes on, you will forget all about these games. Save your eyes, and do other things with your life besides playing these games. Fantasy football is one example of a mentally challenging game for you. Go outside and take a walk and enjoy life. Your body will appreciate this. Do any outside work that needs to be done before winter sets in. Get an oil change and grease job on your car. Take your family out to eat or to a movie or something else that is interesting to you. Please support the Bay View community.
The new proposed Hoan Bridge????
I can imagine an ambulence taking I-794 over the new lower Hoan Bridge to get to a person on the southeast are of Milwaukee. The bridge goes up because a yacht is coming into Milwaukee Harbor. The entire new Hoan Bridge, including the ambulence that has its red lights flashing, must wait for them to raise and then lower the bridge on I-794. Traffic will be bottled up for quite a while due to this boat coming in. This event will repeat itself many times a day, even during rush hour. There will be signs advertising the new condos that were built on Jones Island. When the wind is right, the people in the condos will have to evacuate the area, or else breathe in the fresh smell of manure from the nearby sewerage plant. Building built on a former sand bar will be very unstable in wet weather. Nobody living near the new highway will be able to hang their clothes out to dry or to create small vegetable gardens. Clothes pins will become uniform of the day to these people. These people will be as welcome in other people's houses as a skunk is inside of your house. Everthing that they own will smell like fresh manure. Milorganite, the main product made in the area will leave its effects on all that you own. You almost might be able to keep skunks as pets, since this is a better smell than nearby areas. Gas masks will become a necessity if you live in these proposed condos.
Please consider contacting your political leaders to prevent them from tearing down the present Hoan Bridge and replacing it with a lower bridge with a bridge tender to raise the bridge every few minutes for a passing boat. The story above could become a reality if you do nothing about saving the present Hoan Bridge. You might be the person assigned to live in low rent housing near the sewerage plant. This is your future that we are talking about. Act now to prevent them from razing the present Hoan Bridge as it stands now. You also are the one to elect our political leaders. Act wisely in that matter.

Local School News in our Newspapers
We need the co-operation of all of the schools in the Bay View area. We would like to be able to post news from your school on-line for all to be able to read. We should have pride in our local schools. By posting your local news, people can learn more about your school. Positive news is missing in our newspapers. Consider having one person, at your school ,send your news to Penny Manke, email@example.com or call her at 414-304-5039. We are trying to set up a blog site just for local school news.

If you got outside on Wednesday, you could tell the first day of spring didn't really feel like spring at all.
Don't let the sun and the blue skies fool you, the first day of spring felt more like the middle of winter.
"It's terrible man. It's 37 degrees out right now. It's not too warm," Dan McGee said.
But that's not stopping a few like Dan McGee from braving the arctic blast to get in a good workout.
"I'm actually really tired right now. I wanted to wake up, so I came for a jog. How cold it is right now, I'm pretty awake I'll tell you that much," McGee said.
For much of the day, downtown streets were empty, with a few people running door to door to beat the cold.
On social media some are calling for the arrest of Punxatawney Phil, who told us spring was on it's way. Now it appears, he's wanted for fraud.
"It's terrible. It's 60 degrees one day then it's 30 degrees the next day. It's terrible. Last weekend I went golfing, so I'm missing that already," McGee said. "Gotta stay in shape. Gotta do something."
The weather is having an impact on at least one event. Thursday's Boys' & Girls' track meet between Central, Harrison and Reitz has been postponed to April 4 due to the cold weather.

Frank Lampard will become only the eighth player to reach the 100-cap mark for England tomorrow (Tuesday) his national manager Roy Hodgson has announced.
Speaking in Ukraine ahead of the very important World Cup qualifier, Hodgson said:
'He [Lampard] will play tomorrow night and I have been very lucky to have three players play their 100th game during the time I have been manager. All things being equal Frank will play and start the game tomorrow.
'I don't think there will be many players who will play for England for two or three years, let alone 14 years. Fourteen years is a long time to be representing your country.'
With Hodgson revealing there will only be one change from the side that started against Moldova on Friday, a replacement for suspended Danny Welbeck, Lampard will start the game alongside two players who also recently joined the exclusive group, Chelsea team-mate Ashley Cole, who earned his 100th cap against Brazil earlier this year, and Steven Gerrard.
The other players to have made 100 appearances for England are Billy Wright, Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore, Peter Shilton and David Beckham.
Lampard, who has won all but two of his caps since moving to Stamford Bridge, made his international debut in October 1999 in a 2-1 friendly win against Belgium at the Stadium of Light, playing 76 minutes before being replaced by Dennis Wise.
His first senior international goal came in a 3-1 win against Croatia in August 2003 at Portman Road, when he fired into the roof of the net from 25 yards to put the seal on the victory.
A year later, at the European Championships, Lampard competed at his first major international tournament, and while England were eliminated at the quarter-final stage, on a personal note it was a fruitful experience with the Blues midfielder scoring three goals in four games.
Supporters voted Lampard England's Player of the Year twice in succession - in 2004 and 2005 - and his five goals in qualification helped the national side secure their place at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, but while he was an ever-present in the side throughout that campaign, England again exited at the quarter-final stage after losing to Portugal on penalties.
The 2010 World Cup will be remembered for the goal scored by Lampard in the quarter-final defeat against Germany which, having clearly crossed the line, was ruled out, highlighting the importance of goal-line technology.
Lampard captained England for the first time in February 2011, in a friendly against Denmark, and he was on target in the next two games as their place at Euro 2012 was booked. Unfortunately for Lampard a thigh injury ruled him out of the tournament.
His international career has seen him score winning goals against the likes of Spain and Brazil, while in the current World Cup qualifying campaign he has been a pivotal figure, scoring four times thus far.
In total, he has now scored 29 goals for his country and is England's ninth highest goalscorer.
Along with Lampard and Cole, Petr Cech and Fernando Torres are the other players at the club to have reached the 100-cap mark for their national teams.
'I enjoy being with this group of [England ] players,' Lampard said this week. 'I enjoy the manager, I have a lot of respect for him.
'In enjoy playing alongside Steven [Gerrard] and Ashley [Cole], who I have played with a long time, and England as a whole - we want to get to the World Cup.'
England captain Steven Gerrard, speaking today at the same press conference as Hodgson, said: 'It is going to be a fantastic occasion for Frank and I am absolutely delighted for him that he will get the 100 caps.
'Obviously me and Ashley did that as well recently and we are going to move onto the same number of caps as the legend Billy Wright so it is going to be a special occasion all round, so we all want to remember it for the right result. I lost on my 100th cap so hopefully that will be different for Frank and he can go away with fond memories.'
Cole and Gerrard have made 104 England appearance ahead of tomorrow's game.

I loved my invitations.
Lovely Lavender Foldover Pockets The service was quick and good. We made lots of revisions and it was not an issue. The one thing about the printing was that the design from the front ran onto the back but just by a very very very tiny bit. It probably wasn't even noticable except to the person assembling the invitations (ie: Me)

Getting started
The story that an Ethiopian goat herder discovered coffee when his berry-eating goats became frisky is likely apocryphal, but it's generally believed that coffee first came from that region. These days, Americans consume about 25 percent of the world's coffee. The average coffee drinker enjoys 3.3 cups a day, or about 1,200 cups a year. Maybe that's why there seems to be a coffee shop on every corner.
But how can you make a good cup of coffee at home with brands you can find in the supermarket? When we test coffee, we look for smoothness and complexity with no off-flavors. The beans should be neither under-roasted nor charred, and the brew should have at least moderate aroma and flavor, and subtle top notes. Some sourness and bitterness are desirable, too, to keep the coffee from tasting bland.
All coffees consist of arabica or robusta beans, or a combination. Arabica beans are more expensive and tend to make better coffee. And as with wine grapes, where the beans are grown makes a difference. Coffee is cultivated across the world in a belt generally bounded by the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. Brazil is the top coffee producer, followed by Colombia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Mexico. Ethiopia is number six.
At Consumer Reports, we test the coffees that our readers are most likely to drink. We've tested Colombian because it comes from one of the most popular regions. We've also tested and tasted blends because they're the best-selling type of ground coffee. Blends contain beans from at least two regions or countries. We plan to test coffee from more regions and recently tested Kenyan and Sumatran.
The tastes of coffee drinkers have become more discriminating in recent years and coffee drinkers are demanding more flavor from the cup. Here are some things to remember when buying your beans.
Consider how you take it. Excellent and very good coffees taste fine black. Milk and sugar can improve a mediocre coffee, but not even cream is likely to help the lowest-scoring coffees.
Choose a good coffeemaker. The best coffeemakers reach 195 degree to 205 degrees F during brewing, the temperatures required to get the best from the beans and avoid a weak or bitter brew.
Consider grinding for fresher flavor. Even the best pre-ground coffee can't beat a good quality fresh ground when it comes to taste.

Frisco is starting to feel like deja vuFargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- Bison quarterback Brock Jensen said yesterday, that he wouldn't mind making a tradition of coming to Frisco every January for a national championship.
By: Dom Izzo, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- Bison quarterback Brock Jensen said yesterday, that he wouldn't mind making a tradition of coming to Frisco every January for a national championship.
Frisco businesses probably wouldn't mind either. WDAY 6 Sports Director Dom Izzo caught up with the man who's in charge of the festivities this weekend.
This is year three that this city and this stadium has hosted the championship game and it was clear to Tom Burnett, the man running things here, that he needed to be prepared for another Gold Rush.
It's easy to say deja vu all over again, but that is really what it kinda is. I think people remember what a great experience that they had here in Frisco last year. And we got that opportunity again, we got a rematch, best two teams in the sub-division squaring off again and they have proven that in the playoffs. I think it's gonna be a great show on Saturday. Locally what we have really seen is much more pressure in tickets and the opportunity. We told people to buy them back in September, buy them in October and I think as we saw North Dakota State fans that bought tickets through the public outlet early on that has created another since of urgency on ticket sales.
Coming up tonight at six on WDAY 6 sports, we will hear from Bison linebacker Grant Olson, he will tell us about a surprise trip to the hospital and his playing status for Saturday.
You only have to wait one more day for our 1-hour special, Fargo To Frisco, it will air tomorrow at 9 pm on WDAY.

A 29-year-old former bank teller pleaded not guilty Monday to allegations that she embezzled more than $60,000 from elderly patrons, some of whom suffered from dementia.
Jeanne Ann Dey of Indian Hills faces four counts: three charges of embezzlement involving a victim age 60 or older, and one count of embezzlement.
The crimes reportedly took place in 2010 and 2011.
Dey is accused of setting up accounts, then archiving the accounts so the victims didn't receive statements.
She would then allegedly withdraw money from the accounts.
Judge Michael Gibbons set alternate dates for a trial which is expected to last …

Words get used up. Politicans and the world of advertising may be the greatest killers of meaning that a word can have. These sentences are by way of saying that one such word is "spirituality." Most of us use the word freely, and I'm wondering just what we mean by it when we do use it. We speak of spiritual traditions, about spirituality and business, about spirituality and healing, etc. I talk about PW as a secular spiritual practice.For openers, of what I hope will be an inspiring conversation, whatever we mean by spirituality, we also imply a practice of some sort--prayer, meditation, ritual observances, etc. Why is discipline so central, do you think?
I'm afraid many nowadays use "spiritual" to mean in contrast to religion; thus, "I'm not religious but I am a spiritual person." Sometimes what this means is, "I don't go to church or actually DO anything about spirituality; I just think it's a nice idea and I'm the sort of person who might do something...." Sort of like all those people who claim they could write best-sellers if they only found the time to sit down and put them on paper?It occurs to me that if humanity were enlightened (using the term loosely for now), discipline would no longer be a necessary element to spirituality. In humanity in its state so far, however, there is so much racket and distraction bearing down on us that maybe only a discipline, a practice, makes the needed space in our minds, in our lives, for something that is so other than the prevailing "bottom line" mentality.Just got back from spending a week with some nuns in a monastery. They do Buddhist meditation in their chapel as well as the liturgical hours and Mass.They do live it--remarkable.
I realize I've been thinking all day about what Michal said, which was so interesting. I'm not sure the issue is bottom line life (disciplines have been around for longer than the industrial age). The last thought I had was that we need practices and disciplines for self-remembering. Simple living makes us forget who and what we were before all the splits we feel in our bones and psyches. Life seems to me habitual forgetting. Of coure, if we all were enlightened, we would look at teach other out of loving eyes and we wouldn't need any such rituals. I think Michal is right about this.
Just jumping in here--late in March. "Self-remembering" seems a grounding in spirituality, I feel. How many of us know our Self? our Being? -our Essence? Habitual forgetting IS just as far as we have come. I agree with Michal that in using the word "spirituality," many feel they have all their bases covered. Hence, it has a meaningless term. But it does not have to be! I think self-transformation the work of a truly spiritual person. Religion can lead to this, but also, the rigidity of the institution of religion can lead one away from genuine, spiritual inner-work. It is OUR GIFT TO LIFE, to the earth, to the universe. If it is honest--if it comes from pure intention and union of heart and mind and body--the discipline will come, slowly. Sulena
What Sulena calls self-transformation I think of as self-transcendence, and I think of PW as a secular spiritual practice because it aligns us with our essential nature, to be learning creatures. Harmonious with our nature, we outgrow or transcend our old stories and ways of understanding, wrap them up in or newest takes on the past, and, so doing, transcend the past--and in such a way that compassion or empathy and forgiveness come into play--in what some folks call an act of radical understanding--an understanding that makes a before and after in your life. You have a way of understanding how and why things happened as they did, a new point of view, what Linda calls a larger perceptual base of understanding. You also have a growing imagination. . . .

Citysearch Editorial Review – About five minutes north of D.C.'s Chinatown, Kushi Izakaya & Sushi takes great care to present the best of Japan. The sushi bar imports all of its ingredients, down to the charcoal that fires its robata grill, from Japan. The effect? Food and a space that mirror one another in simplicity and good taste. The gray-hued, loft-like space feels open and relaxing, and the wide bar is spacious enough to accommodate a small group for a full meal. Bartenders recommend the grilled pork belly dishes. On the other end of the spectrum, Kushi offers a ton of vegetarian choices (denoted by an encircled "v") for herbivores: The sundried tomato, asparagus and Asian pear roll is a particularly tasty choice, along with the grilled rice balls.
Cool concept, pricey fare – I guess a Japanese izakaya-style restaurant could be equated to a Spanish tapas-style restaurant - order many small dishes to share. But the risk you run at any tapas spot is the same here at Kushi - if you're hoping to really feel satisfied, expect to pay for it.
The food is fairly good here; I've tried pork belly, duck, clams steamed in sake, kimchee, and Japanese eggplant. The pork belly was delicious (though pork belly is hard to ruin). The duck, grilled and skewered, was tasty but basic. The clams were surprisingly a bigger portion than other dishes but a bit overpowered by taste of sake. I enjoyed the kimchee and Japanese eggplant, which had a nice char to it.
Others whom I was dining with had eaten at other izakaya restaurants in other cities and said some of their favorite dishes were not on the menu, which they expected to find here. Pricing was also an issue, as they said that the other places they visited were considerably cheaper than Kushi. However, this is Washington, and many may be willing to pay the standard DC-high prices for a unique new spot like Kushi.

It does help me curve my appetite for maybe half an hour if I add a dab to a mug of water, I've grown to enjoy the taste. Though the healthy benefits from my reading are questionable. I've noticed nothing but that's not why I buy it. I add it to most of my meals, it gives it a nice flavor to bland foods like rice, mashed potatoes, even Ramen noodles. I use my imagination when cooking and adding various things, usually comes out great. From what I've seen I get this cheaper here than at the local grocer.
Nice product

I bought this as a possible remedy for IBS symptoms. I can't say I am 100% but am about 90%better since taking this product for only 2 weeks. I can't imagine it's coincidence since I have been suffering for years, and have tried probiotics, as well as through diet. This has been the only thing to provide relief. The only reason for the 4 stars is because of the taste of the stuff. Basically you're drinking vinegar. Still takes some getting used to but if you hold your nose and drink it fast, you should be very satisfied with the results.
good stuff!

As prescribed, this natural elixar helps with digestion, and fatigue. It gives an almost immediate energy boost. I'm very pleased with this product- and it's got good bang for the buck.
So far so good

I have been taking the ACV for 3 weeks now. Wow my skin has improved dramatically- much clearer fewer breakouts. I take it after lunch and the bloating and discomfort are much less now. I went and bought 3 more bottles so I dont run out.
Good for health

My doctor advised me to take a couple of Tbsp. of this product daily. It's supposed to be very good for digestion, however, he prescribed it for my constant heartburn. Sometimes constant heartburn is from too little acid in the stomach...especially if you have taken proton pump inhibitors for years, as I have. Initially, it made the burning much worse...but I stuck with it, as advised. At this point, 2 months later, I haven't suffered from my usual daily bouts of discomfort in weeks!

Brian Burke and Kevin Lowe were actually going to rent a barn and fight over their feud a few years ago? A great piece on Burke here.
Saturday picks from Marty, as well as this week's Looking Ahead from Dave Poleck will be posted in a few hours.
Allan Walsh wonders why his client Derick Brassard isn't playing much? Well, to be frank, it is because he isn't a good player. Brassard is too weak on the puck and at faceoffs to play center, and he has been passed over by numerous other players for the vacant wing positions.
He's a great trade candidate as he could benefit from a fresh start elsewhere, but to blame his lack of production on not getting an opportunity is quite ridiculous. Brassard hasn't been the same player since he wrecked his shoulder in a fight with James Neal a few years ago.
What is up with Drew Doughty? Been a steady decline in his play since the Olympics in February of 2010.
There are only four players in the league who have more points than Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Wow.
Six goals last night for the Preds represented an offensive explosion. They were quick in transition and made some nice plays around the net. Colin Wilson and Craig Smith both had three points. Wilson was the most dangerous Pred forward. Fisher and Erat also had really strong games.
Nashville's lack of defensive depth was apparent. The Canucks managed to get the Sedin line away from Weber/Suter for many shifts, and they were absolutely dominant against the bottom four defensemen. Vancouver outshot Nashville almost 2 to 1, and the scoring chances were probably a similar ratio as well.
Cody Hodgson continues to shine in limited minutes. He scored a goal, created a few chances, and hit a post near the end of the game. Still only 11 minutes, though. Tough to play more with the depth Vancouver has. He's still seeing a regular shift on the second PP unit, though.
David Desharnais had a great game - three points and almost 20 minutes of ice time in San Jose.
The Thornton/Marleau/Pavelski line was a combined minus-8, while Clowe/Couture/Havlat combined for five points.
Sean Bergenheim scored Florida's lone goal last night. He has yet to record an assist and is on pace for just over 10 points.
Nazem Kadri was named AHL Player of the Month after posting 17 points in 12 games. He's been underwhelming at the NHL level, but it is never a good idea to write off a young forward who is producing like Kadri is.
Mike Brophy has a solid piece on Kadri here.
From Kadri himself:
"Just being able to recognize danger is the biggest change in my game," Kadri said. "Turnovers have been pretty bad news for me; especially in junior when I kind of did whatever I felt like doing. Since junior I'm trying to be more of a complete player and I'm limiting my turnovers. I'm starting to be less of a risky player and more of a reward player. It is tough to change. It has taken me some time to adjust, but I think each day I'm getting better. I just keep working hard and if I do that, things will pan out for me."
My piece for the Canucks Army yesterday – I take a look at some interesting numbers to do with the Canucks and some of their players.
Cory Schneider and Pekka Rinne were both pulled in a weird game yesterday in Vancouver. Schneider let in three of the first five he faced (to prove he is human after all), while Rinne allowed four in the second period.
Mason Raymond was all set to make his season debut yesterday, but his paperwork wasn't filed to the league on time, and he was declared ineligible to say. A screw up by the Vancouver front office, and expect Raymond to play on Sunday against Calgary.
I snagged TJ Brodie in a few leagues yesterday, and I'd recommend you do the same. Great young defenseman with an opportunity in front of him with Giordano out.
Ondrej Pavelec stopped all 33 shots he faced last against the 'Yotes. The Winnipeg fans went from booing Shane Doan to later cheering him.
Bryan Little scored the only goal of the game.
Crosby vs. Ovechkin didn't exactly transpire last night, as both players had quiet games. Jason Chimera scored his team leading 10th goal for the Capitals.
Simon Despres recorded an assist in his NHL debut for the Pens. He's big and mobile, but doesn't possess a ton of offensive upside.
Crosby was a very un-Crosby-like 6-for-22 in the faceoff circle. Nick Backstrom won 14 of the 16 he took and absolutely dominated the faceoff matchup.
The Carolina Hurricanes are such a bad team. This is news to no one, but Kirk Muller has his work cut out for him. The Rangers scored five goals last night, and a whopping 14 different players recorded points.
Gaborik has 21 points in 22 games. Not sensational, but solid numbers considering his poor season in 2010-11. He should be above a point-per-game, but the Rangers have struggled to find cohesive line combinations through the first part of the season.
Sean Avery has three goals in 11 games this season, matching his total from all of last season (76 games).
Cam Ward is a very good goalie but he's having a very bad season. In one of my leagues, he is single-handedly killing my teams chances of winning any of my matchups.
Without Goligoski, Dallas' PP leaders among defensemen were Souray (2:31 of ice time), Larsen (1:48 of ice time), and Robidas (1:59 of ice time). The Stars really need a puck moving defenseman, even when Goligoski is healthy.
Milan Michalek's strong season continues. I'd be looking to sell high, as he won't sustain his48 goal pace, and he's a huge injury risk.
Andrew Raycroft continues to play very well in relief of the injured Kari Lehtonen. Raycroft had 33 saves against the Senators, and he's really turned his career around after a stint with the Canucks a few years ago.
Jamie Benn has been very streaky lately. Starting November 4th, he had seven points in three games, one point in his next six, four points in his next two, and then zero points in his next three.
Ty Rattie was named WHL Player of the Week. He has 27 goals in 27 games this season. The undersized winger has a ton of skill and top six upside. He's another great prospect in the St. Louis system. At some point, that team is going to figure things out and become really, really good.
Nikita Nikitin had a game to remember for the Jackets. Three points, five shots on goal, and almost 27 minutes of ice time. Three Columbus defensemen played over 26 minutes (the other two being Wisniewski and Tyutin).
Blake Comeau scored his first goal with the Flames. He also added an assist and three shots on goal.
Without Giordano, Derek Smith, Brodie and Hannan saw increased minutes. Cory Sarich drew back in to the lineup, but he played only 13 minutes. One of the worst contracts in the league right now.
People (I am guilty of this) keep jumping the gun with that team, as they have so much young talent at every position. I think the biggest issue is the lack of a true game breaking forward. Unless your goaltender is Dominik Hasek, it is tough to win without a true star forward. David Backes is really good, but I wouldn't classify him a star. Berglund hasn't put his massive potential together yet (nor has he really come all that close to doing so).
Sami Salo didn't play last night due to a groin injury. Aaron Rome drew in to the lineup. Salo owners should expect this kind of thing.
NHL's three stars for November – Thomas, Toews, and Lupul. I wouldn't disagree with any of the selections.
Marc Staal continues to skate, but in his own words a return is "a long ways away."
Tyler Ennis may play tonight. He's been out for over a month with an ankle injury.
Three years with a cap hit of $5.25 million for David Krejci as he signs an extension with the Bruins. The money seems high, but when you factor in the ever-increasing salary cap, it isn't all that bad. Solidifies the center ice position for the Bruins. Probably not the greatest news for Seguin owners, but he'll continue to find opportunities to produce if he keeps this level fo play up.
This was the first time I had seen anything like this before:

I am still holding out on my last glimmer of hope that Brassard can turn it around if he is given a fresh slate with a new team... I have pretty much given up hope for him in CBJ.
I have been noticing something I think and I would like to find out whether the numbers back me up. I seem to have seen a bunch of defencemen break into the league lately who have scored quite a lot in their first year (for some it continues into their second year) and then the numbers dry out as either the league figures them out or they are told to try and figure out the defensive game more. Subban, MDZ, Doughty (sorta) etc... Am I just seeing what I want to see or is there something there?
Hodgson is sooo close to becoming a 70 point player.. You can literally see him getting better every game. I think that next time he gets a chance in the top 6 that lasts more then 2 games it will be for good. The guy is magic on the PP too.
I have Thorton and I saw 4 goals for the Sharks and I was thinking "sweet I have at least a point or two!"... No points and a -3... Little Joe is bigger then Jumbo Joe!
I didn't expect to go on a 40 game point streak scoring 2 points every game... No I didn't... That would be foolish... Of course.
And mick I was actually glad as a Canucks fan was put in. It means that AV is commited to the hot hand approach. He actually set an awesome precedent tonight. He plays the hot hand but because the backup has just as much skill; if you have a bad night you are out. Gone are the days of ANY of our goalies letting in 8 goals a game. 3 in a period and he is out. Same standard for Luongo. Play great? Get as many games in a row as you are stellar for! Play bad? Hello other goalie! I love it.
Jason Banks said:
He was having a great game vs Grand Rapids Tuesday with 2 strong even strength goals. One of the best games of his I've seen this season...
Until with a minute left in OT he got selfish with the puck, instead of making a pass to Marcel Muller or dumping a puck in deep, Kardi decided to make 2 direction changes at the offencive blue line with Vetrean Garnett Exelby bearing down. Garnett cut off his lane and pushed Kadri rather easily off the puck and fired a pass cross ice to Tomas Tatar and trapped Kadri and Mueller and a D man trying to support Kadri (might a been Holzer)... Marlies never recovered the puck or positioning and the game was dead at 4:11...
The downfalls to Kadri are still his Jr tendancys, which cost us this game and a few others... and defencive play (he is making huge strides and miles ahead of where he was)...
He is at the point where in a strict offencive role he will contribute in the offencive zone... but you wanna match him up against 3rd and 4th lines and 3rd pairings... he isnt at the point where he could play 15 minutes and see shifts against 2nd and 3rd lines or pairings....
He needs the rest of the year in the AHL just to simplify his game. He needs to learn not to force something when there is nothing, and to make the safe play... The talent is there, he is filled out and the body is there (altho still smallish and easier to bump from a puck, altho miles ahead of last 2 years).
Also after 1 more off season of training I think he'll be fully built and physically ready to handle more players.
So if Kadri progresses in those area, he should be ready for top 3 line NHL duties, and never see AHL ice again.

1. Fantasy hockey fans seem to expect ALL young players improve their statistics yearly. We have set concepts like the "magical 4th year breakout" - which I subscribe to as well... for FORWARDS. Some young players, and especially defensemen, will not continue to improve in their scoring. Defensemen scoring can be all over the map - and is often based on how well a team's PP is clicking and time played. Doughty is a smooth-skating defenseman who played 25min/game in his 2nd season: No Time Increase left for improvement. He also put up 31 PPP in that season: No Increase left for improvement. 31PPP is a very good season and most PP-QBs put up 20-25pts +/-5pts. Unlike forwards, defensemen usually have a full-sheet of ice in front of them to read when they get the puck. You can throw a young defenseman on PP1 and he CAN put up 50+ points (Tyler Myers, Fowler, Doughty, Karlsson). But it is unreasonable, IMO, to expect that number to constantly increase and it can be unreasonable to even expect that number to be repeated. What's not unreasonable is that Doughty's 59pt season will be his best season ever: 25min/game & 31PPP. A smooth skating defenseman on PP1 can do that, even at a young age.
2. Doughty just got a nice, fat contract. Motivation is a very, very hard thing to maintain. Some players bring it every day, some muster it for contract seasons, some muster it for playoffs. Some players only show up when called-out. For Doughty, I'm not sure the same motivation is there.
Summary: Doughty = 45pt D-man, with a +/-10pts based on PP chemistry.
ps. Awesome rambling - but I only felt like talking Doughty today. (I player I don't own in any leagues!)

Seemed to spark the Canucks but wow can't say he played better than Schneider.
I thought Lindback played exceptional when he came in though, some big timely saves.

Headlines only today as yours truly starts a little mini-break. The next few days, Mike Mitchell will provide daily headlines and Josh Ward will handle recruiting news — as usual — as well as any breaking news coverage. I might have an extra story or two in the hopper for early next week, but just be aware the next few days are mid-summer breaktime.
Now, on with the news…
1. College hoops coaches are now free to call and text around the country at their whim.
2. The fight for a college football playoff creeps and crawls towards a resolution.
3. This isn't a sports story, but questions are now being raised about how quickly Auburn students were informed of a weekend shooting… and a shooter who was on the loose.
4. Arkansas will open its 2013 football slate against Southern Miss in Fayetteville.
5. Comedian Dave Chappelle got a kick out of a trademark Razorback Hog Call during a Little Rock show.
6. For a guy that throws a lot of barbs and needles, Dan Mullen has got some thin skin. MSU's coach took offense to something Louisiana Tech's Sonny Dykes said in praise of his own players… and then Mullen took a straight shot at Dykes' coaching ability. (State fans love him the way Vandy fans love Franklin, Gamecock fans love Spurrier, and Volunteer fans once loved Kiffin… but all four of those guys are/were bratty.)
7. Ex-Bulldog hoopster Renardo Sidney has been dropped by his agent.
8. Meanwhile, Ole Miss' Hugh Freeze says his school doesn't "have the talent level that people in the SEC West have right now at a lot of spots" and "that's not fixed overnight."
9. Kevin Sumlin – talking of a a fresh start for the Aggies in 2012 — joked with Texas A&M boosters that his team's still undefeated and he just won his fifth straight spring game.
10. Virginia Tech freshman forward Dorian Finney-Smith is reportedly transferring to Florida's basketball program.
11. Good news: Gator linebacker Neiron Ball has been cleared to return to football after suffering a brain hemorrhage in February of 2011.
12. Kentucky players are loving the upgrades made to their football facility.
13. New South Carolina hoops coach Frank Martin believes his school's support for baseball can carry over to the Colonial Life Arena. (Of course, winning back-to-back NCAA titles hlps.)
14. Former DePaul and Virginia head coach Dave Leitao is joining Frank Haith's staff at Missouri.
15. Tiger football coach Gary Pinkel told a Nashville radio station that Mizzou's recruiting "is going as well as it has ever gone for us" thanks in large part to a move to the SEC.

5 reasons to worry regardless who winsNovember 5, 2012: 10:58 AM ET
An economy on four years of life-support has left a growing portion of the American labor market tired and anxious, seemingly sapped of initiative, embracing a new normal of limited horizons.
By Nina Easton, senior editor-at-large
FORTUNE -- In this uncertain presidential race, we can be certain that Tuesday night's victor will be proclaiming his own version of "Happy days are here again." But after the champagne and balloons and displays of unbridled confidence comes a harsh dose of reality: A troubled American workforce could be standing in the way of those happy days.
Any chief executive stepping into a turn-around situation intuitively knows that your best (or worst) asset is the quality of people at your disposal. The man sitting in the Oval Office on January 23 will be able to deploy the most innovative -- and, by most standards, productive -- workforce in the world.
But there's a darkening side to that picture: An economy on four years of life-support has left a growing portion of the American labor market tired and anxious, seemingly sapped of initiative, embracing a new normal of limited horizons. Resigned to getting by rather than getting ahead.
Culture matters. No President can help the nation regain its footing in a fiercely competitive global economy without a workforce that's firing on all cylinders.
MORE: Don't blame the 1% for America's pay gap
Here are five reasons to worry:
No. 1: Historically high rates of long-term unemployment threaten to leave millions of discouraged men and women permanently jobless. The longer you are out of work, the harder it is to find a job. Economists call it this hysteresis. We'll just call it the "Scarlet U" that unemployed job candidates wear when potential employers size them up -- rightly or wrongly -- as carriers of rusted skills and slack work habits.
Last March, Fed chief Ben Bernanke went public with his fear that people who are out of work for months and years see their "skills and labor-force attachment atrophy further, possibly converting a cyclical problem into a structural one." Stubbornly high numbers could make that fear a reality.
Five million Americans, 40% of the jobless, have been out of work more than six months, a number little changed in Friday's jobs report. A Pew fiscal analysis from earlier this year found that nearly 30% had been without a job for at least a year; at 13.3 million, that's more than the population of Oregon. And of those men and women, 1.8 million haven't gone to work for two years or more, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
No. 2 For a growing part of our population, work -- going to work or even looking for a job -- has ceased to be a way of life. The labor rate participation has dropped to the lowest rate since 1981, the depth of the last recession. The trend is especially alarming for men: Demographer Nicholas Eberstadt has calculated that 27% of working-age men are no longer part of the labor force. You can argue with his assertion that "a large part of the jobs problem is not wanting a job" -- and many will.
But the trend is a troubling one, and as Eberstadt notes in his new book A Nation of Takers, it both predates the Great Recession and transcends race. Prime working-age men were dropping out of the workforce even before the 2008 financial crash, leaving the U.S. behind Europe (even Greece) in the percent of men in their 30s holding a job, or looking for one. The U.S., he says, is experiencing a "historically unprecedented exit from gainful work for adult men."
MORE: A radical tax plan the left and right can agree on
No. 3: More people are opting for a government check than a job—care of the $130 billion federal disability insurance fund. A program meant to support people who can't work because of a chronic illness or disability now sends checks to more than 5% of working age-adults. That's 8.6 million (along with 2 million dependents). About half enter the system with hard-to-prove medical conditions like mood disorders and chronic pain,
Americans, aided by shameless law firms broadcasting their help, are applying for disability at historically high rates. "When jobs are plentiful people choose to work" and "when they're scarce, disability insurance looks more appealing," the Congressional Budget Office notes.
And unlike unemployment insurance—which runs out--disability is permanent welfare; only a small percent of recipients ever leave. It's like "Hotel California" -- such a lovely place except you can never leave. Critics decry the explosion in disability claims as a dead-beat drag on taxpayers. But the more insidious fallout is that millions of potential American workers are consigned to lives of dependency and poverty--and deprived of the mobility that a job ladder promises.
No. 4: Of course, the first step toward getting ahead is getting educated. In today's economy, a college degree carries a salary premium –and a measure of job protection. (Unemployment rates are lower among the college-educated, and especially among those with advanced degrees).
But U.S. workers are losing the global education race. Among OECD countries—our industrialized competitors—the U.S. ranks in the middle on college education rates. We used to be on top. And our high school graduation rates are far worse. With 70% of high school students collecting a diploma, the U.S. ranks 22 out of 27 countries, according to the latest OECD data. And that's before we get to the conversation about how our students lack the math and science skills a 21st century economy requires.
MORE: America's new work ethic?
No. 5: If you think the U.S. has moved past a culture of easy-money debt, think again: Young people coming out of college and into the workforce are saddled with a $1 trillion in loans, much of which they can't afford to pay back. About a third of students carrying those loans are college drop-outs.
Like the spread of subprime mortgages, this is government-induced cheap money offered to borrowers of limited means -- with tuition rates, like home prices, skyrocketing alongside. No wonder many economists are predicting a student-loan bubble about to burst, with default rates surging.
The problematic state of America's workforce isn't a subject conducive to campaign bullet points or 60-second attack ads. But when all that ends this week, it's time to turn to the hard business at hand. And, like any turn-around operation, this is a job that starts with leadership—from the top.

U.S. factory orders rebounded in February following disappointing January statistics, according to figures released Tuesday by the Commerce Department.
Department figures put the February estimate of new manufacturing orders at $468.4 billion, a 1.3 percent increase from January levels.
And while most economists had predicted a rebound following the 1.1 percent decline in January - initially reported as a 1 percent decline - many had hoped for a slightly more robust 1.5 percent increase.
